The Sexualization of Our Young Girls

[Barbara Howard]

Special guests: Elizabeth Atkins, Anthony Reeves, Esq. and Christine Lowe-Woolard.

Recently I read article online about little girls receiving pedicures as young as six years old, and "Hooker Barbie" being released by Mattel in September. The Mommy blogger sites lit up with commentary on this subject. Most of them crying "Enough is enough!" What are we teaching our girls? What is the key to positive healthy body image and self-esteem? What's your opinion? Join us and share your thoughts.

Elizabeth Atkins has appeared on Montell Williams and Oprah. She is a best selling author and nominate for a Pulitzer Prize. She is an expert speaker on the topic of multi-racial identity.

Christine Lowe-Woolard is a Yale grad, educator, entrepreneur, homeschooler, and prolific blogger.

As a Motivational Speaker and Trainer that has been blessed to go throughout North America talking to our young people I am deeply saddened by what I find our young people are being shepherded and herded into thinking. I have gone into schools and heard third graders singing with great glee, "I'm in love with a stripper!" and I've heard our young people leaning with it and rocking with it, shaking their laffy taffy's and supermaning that ho". These are the latest songs that are out there for our young people to feast on. Our communities are dying because we refuse to clean them up and now we are the number one producers and directors of filth and degeneracy among our young people. Other people will continue to seek to make a profit off of our ignorance until we in the black community say enough is enough. To give you a look at the sad state of affairs of our young women, I recently spoke to a young girl in one of my groups that began to say she wanted a baby. Two weeks later her mother shared with me that she was pregant.
